Thing that personally piss you off. - So, yeah as the tittle says, what pisses you off

I have yet another thing to piss and moan about from my call center days that still makes me seethe.

Customers who call using cell phones in areas with bad or no reception, their phone batteries are low, or they're driving, walking, or working while trying to make what is supposed to be an important call. Sometimes, I get that it can't be helped. I do. But I would like to think that people would try harder to have more common sense on this matter. It really shouldn't be that hard to just find a good time and place to make your call. Especially if it's urgent! It just seems like such a stupid, unnecessary self-inflicted inconvenience. People from all walks of life do this too. I still think that most people see their cell phones, or smartphones these days, as toys rather than tools.

If anyone else has complained about this already, then I'm sorry for being redundant. I witnessed a friend of mine doing this today. He was trying to call Verizon on his smartphone, but its batteries were low and the phone died while he was in the middle of his call. I had to bitch him out. He didn't like me doing that, but he understood why and agreed it was stupid of him to let that happen.

People who take the long way around answering a yes or no question. Example: "did you find that car listing online?" "yeah, I saw it on carguru." "So, yes." "Well yeah, but not on like social media." "So. Yes."
It's a yes or no question. Stop wasting time. I don't need qualifiers or a story--nobody does. I care significantly less when it happens online, but irl, it drives me up a fucking wall.

But "yes" is not an answer to the question, "what time should I pick you up."

I may have mentioned this already but god damn it chaps my ass every single time.

People who say ‘to make a long story short’ and proceed to tell a 15 min story.
How the fuck is that shorter exactly?

I used to get shit for that. For good reason too. It's annoying.

People are trying to be sociable. Short answers sound curt.

They presume the person they're talking to wants to socialize with them when they just want a fucking question answered.

So they're presuming the person they're talking to is neurotypical and not autistic.

I mean, do you want to socialize with every fuckin' moron under the sun?

Short answers are much more likely to make me like someone.


TL;DR - People split in to two: Visual oriented and Detail oriented.

Some people know it was introvert and extrovert, when it's not strictly true but is a pretty good idea of what's going on.

People who are detail-oriented get frustrated by one word answers and visual oriented people get frustrated by more than a one word answer. A quick example:

Person: "hey, what's that you're driving?"
Visual oriented: "A car" or "A ford"

where-as

Person: "hey, what's that you're driving?"
Visual oriented: "Oh this? This is a 2005 Seat Leon Mk1 Diesel, with a 1.9TDI PD150 engine, a hybrid-turbo, Miltek exhaust, lowered by 10mm on sports-rock coilovers, running a modest 200 bhp with 320 ft/lbs of torque"

To communicate better with the other side of the aisle, chunk-up - give less detail if you are a detailed oriented person giving information to a visual oriented person, or visa versa - chunk-down if you're a visual oriented person talking to a detail oriented person.

I know this is a thread for things that piss you off, but hopefully this autistic post means you can understand the other side of the table and be a little less pissed off in life.

Whataboutism.
In it’s true form, maybe, but most people think crying Whataboutism is a magic spell that makes them immune to being held to any kind of moral standard.

Sometimes people say “what about…” purely to avoid having to justify their own position, but more commonly they’re just demonstrating the point that you can’t pretend to be outraged about one thing if you’re unwilling to apply that principle consistently. The conversation should then be more about what ideals are you willing to compromise on in order to advance the ideals you won’t.

Even more annoying is when people say “that’s just whataboutism” when you’re responding to specific claims. Motherfucker you just said that what Trump/GOP/Biden/whoever the fuck did was “unprecedented” or “the worst case in modern history”, you don’t get to bitch and moan when someone points out examples that show you’re fucking wrong. It’s not whataboutism, it’s providing context.

This may seem an odd one but people who stare at you when they're driving past while you're walking. Not a casual glance but a weird as fuck stare for no apparent reason as if you're the first person they ever saw walking. I don't do anything weird or dress weird. It's just baffling.
This and people who stare at you as you drive past them. Shit’s truly bizarre.

"Yes" is still in no way an answer to "what time."

Drivers that swerve into the turn lane rather than slow down when someone in front of them is turning right. That lane doesn’t exist for you to keep from having to slightly lift your right foot and gently apply your brake for two seconds you stupid nigger. I hope you’re already late for work and your boss cornholes you for it.

Actually, just other drivers. All of them. They’re all banned and only I’m allowed to drive because only I do it right.

this but unironically

I'm a pretty good driver but jesus fucking christ other drivers terrify me sometimes with the shit they pull. Texting while driving. Weaving through lanes. Jumping 3 lanes to get to the offramp. Little old ladies that can't see over the dash of their massive SUV. People who tear down a residential street at ~60mph with a posted limit of 30. How the fuck are these people licensed?
